French Open 2023: Nadal, Murray and Raducanu missing, while Djokovic, Alcaraz and Swiatek favouritesBy Jonathan JurejkoBBC Sport at Roland GarrosLast updated on 26 May 202326 May 2023.From the section Tennis

For the first time in almost 20 years, the French Open will begin this weekend with an added layer of intrigue.

With 14-time men's champion Rafael Nadal missing through injury and two-time women's champion Iga Swiatek not as dominant as last year, the identities of both singles winners are extremely difficult to predict with any sense of certainty.

Nadal's absence for the first time in 19 years will be keenly felt by organisers and fans, but his withdrawal has further opened up the men's draw and gives a host of players extra encouragement they can win.
